history

The place was founded in 1584 under Boris Godunow as one of the fortresses that were supposed to secure the control of Tsarist Russia over the Tatars , Mari , Udmurts and Mordvines settling there in the Volga region , around the same time as Ziwilsk and Urschum . He was named Zarjowosantschursk, about " Tsar -Santschursk". As the administrative seat of a Ujesd , Zaryovosantschursk was considered a city, even after the formation of the governorship of Vyatka in 1780. Largely destroyed by fire in 1794, the place lost its administrative function when the governorship was converted into a governorate of the same name in 1796, but remained a city in the holdings of Ujesd Jaransk .

On November 5, 1923, the place was given its current name when it was converted into a village (selo). On July 15, 1929, Santschursk became the administrative seat of a newly created Rajons named after him. Santschursk has been an urban-type settlement since 1942.
